Unfortunately, we had a very cloudy night for the eclipse, so I wasn't able to get sharp photos of the moon in the conditions.
Lunar eclipse on a cloudy night, March 2025. This was just as totality began, as you can see the bright rim light at the top fading away.

This cotton gin was built in the 1930's by Dick Hunt. While some farmers waited for their cotton, they would buy a 'soda pop' and candy from Mr. Hunt's store. You could buy a hamburger and coke for thirty cents.
Spending quiet time here gives you the feeling of immense history and culture from another time. At times, you can almost feel the presence of what once was.

Two Canadian Geese fly to their roost at sunset. I was fortunate that I they were comfortable flying over me. I had just photographed this scene and had turned my back to walk and I heard them 'talking' to me, so I turned and was able to capture just a few frames as they flew over.

For me, this photograph could easily be the epitome of what you can experience in Monument Valley. You see open landscapes, impressive rock spires, you see constant changes in weather, and dramatic lighting.
